清·吴其浚撰《植物名实图考》

露兜子产广东，一名波罗，生山野间，实如萝卜，上生叶一簇，尖长深齿，味、色、香具佳，性熟，按岭南杂记，番荔支大如桃， 色青，皮如荔支壳而非壳料也；头上有叶一宗，擘开白穰黑子，味似波罗蜜，即此也。又名番娄子，形如兰，叶密长大，抽茎结子，其叶去皮存筋，即波罗麻布也。果熟金黄色，皮坚如鱼鳞状，去皮食肉，香甜无渣，六月熟。

凤梨含丰富的维生素C和 锰(manganese)。凤梨的凤梨酶( bromelain )有抗炎作用，常用在运动伤害、烧伤、关节炎、慢性筋脉区张 (venous insufficiency)、静脉炎(phlebitis)、潰瘍性大腸炎(ulcerative colitis)、鼻竇炎(sinusitis)、手术后复原疗助等。不过凤梨酶会导致一些副作用、如恶心、呕吐、腹泻、经血过多等。

Ongzi 的结论

1、凤梨酶有腹泻的副作用，孕妇慎食。

2、凤梨传入中国不久，本草中记载不多。

Ongrizinal Pineapple Juice 王子の黄梨汁

Add 300mL of chilled water to 300g of pineapple in a blender.  Blend till it smoothes.  If the pineapple is sourly, add in some sugar. 

I have yet to encounter a very sweet pineapple.  The sweetest of all still carries a bit of sour taste.  So, I would add a tablespoon of sugar to my concoction.

Chilled water is added, rather than ice cubes, as I wish to have a watery juice, not a ice-blended.  I wouldn’t want to chill the juice in the fridge, as the fibrous part would float on top.  I also wouldn’t want to add ice cubes to the juice to dilute it.  So, chilled water is the best choice.  In fact, I pre-chilled the pineapple in the fridge prior to the blending. 

Instant chilled Ongrizinal pineapple juice !
